Requirements / Restrictions

The FRITZ!Box must establish its own connection to the internet using a modem (for example a DSL or cable modem).

The FRITZ!Box must obtain a public IPv4 address or an IPv6 address from the internet service provider.

Important:When used on a DS-Lite internet connection, the FRITZ!Box is only accessible from the internet over IPv6. When DS-Lite is active, the status "IPv4 over DS Lite" is displayed under "Connections" on the "Overview" page of the FRITZ!Box user interface.

Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.

1 Setting up a MyFRITZ! account and configuring it in the FRITZ!Box

If the option "MyFRITZ! enabled for this FRITZ!Box" is displayed, enable it and then click the "Another MyFRITZ! account" link to the right of the email address.

Enable the option "Create a new MyFRITZ! account".

Enter your email address in the "Email address" field.

Enter a password of your choice in the "MyFRITZ! password" field and click "Next".

Note:In the future you will need the MyFRITZ! password to log in to the MyFRITZ! service on myfritz.net. Then myfritz.net redirects you to your FRITZ!Box.

If users are already configured in the FRITZ!Box for your email address, select a user whose login data you want to use to log into your FRITZ!Box from the internet.

If you have not set up a user for your email address in the FRITZ!Box yet, enter the name and password for the user who should access your FRITZ!Box over the internet.

Note:The password for the FRITZ!Box user is not transmitted to the MyFRITZ! service. Instead, it is only stored in your FRITZ!Box. In the future you will need it to log in to your FRITZ!Box once you have been redirected to it by myfritz.net. For security reasons, the password for the FRITZ!Box user must be different from the MyFRITZ! password.

Click "Continue".

Now MyFRITZ! will send an email to the email address you entered.

Click "OK" in the "Conclude Registration" window.

Open the email from MyFRITZ!.

Important:If you you did not receive the email, then your email provider or email client probably mistook it for unsolicited advertising (spam) and therefore does not display it in your inbox. In this case, check the spam folder of your email inbox.
